Tim Allen predicts Trump success, 'He's a worker, listener'

Buzz Lightyear has high hopes for President Trump.

As he watched the 58th Presidential Inauguration from the west side of the Capitol, comic Tim Allen said of Trump, "He's a worker."

Allen, the voice of the space adventurer in the Toy Story movie series, and also the star of Last Man Standing and Home Improvement, said that he has high hopes that Trump will make good on his Inaugural Address promise to overhaul the nation's infrastructure.

Noting Trump's background as a developer, Allen, a rare Hollywood supporter, told Secrets, "That's in his wheelhouse. He's a worker." He added, "He can do that."

Allen, who attended the event with his wife, said that Trump appears to be focused on "realistic" projects that he can complete.

He said that the two once did a long, 6-hour charity dinner, and had lots of time to talk. Allen said, "He's a reasonable guy and also a huge listener. And he asks good questions."

The popular star whose Last Man Standing character sometimes echoes conservatives, also had high praise for the peaceful transfer of power that is represented at an Inauguration.

"This is a messy horrible process and we did it right. The French got stuck in revolution part of it, the Russians mimic this but don't really do this. We do this really well," he said.

"At the end of the day its stimulating, nothing like it," added Allen.
